Shania Twain Opens Up About Health Battles, Personal Setbacks, and Her Triumphant Return to Music
In a heartfelt interview on Lorraine, Shania Twain shares her emotional and inspiring journey back to music following a series of life-altering challenges. The country-pop icon discusses how Lyme disease severely affected her voice, at one point leaving her uncertain if she would ever sing—or even speak—again. The condition led to a complicated surgery on her vocal cords, during which she had to remain awake and sing so doctors could monitor her larynx. Despite the fear, Twain says she was more afraid of never singing again and bravely chose to move forward with the procedure.
Now, with her new album “Queen of Me”, Shania is embracing her freedom, confidence, and hard-earned self-acceptance. She describes the record as a celebration of life and joy, a reflection of finally feeling comfortable in her own skin. It’s her first album since the vocal surgery and marks a powerful comeback.
She also touches briefly on past personal hardships, including the breakdown of her marriage, but remains focused on positivity and growth.
Looking ahead, Shania talks excitedly about her upcoming world tour, which includes stops across the U.S., Canada, and the UK. She promises fans a mix of classic hits and new songs, emphasizing that it will be a fun, dance-filled experience.
Twain’s fashion choices, including her playful appearance at the Grammys and her trademark animal prints, are discussed with humor. She even jokes about changing the lyrics to “That Don’t Impress Me Much” to mention Ryan Reynolds, showing her trademark wit.
She also joins ITV’s Starstruck as a judge, where she enjoys encouraging and mentoring new talent. And in a light moment, she confirms she still uses “Bag Balm,” a cream originally made for cows, as her go-to beauty secret!
